Jim was commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy, serving as a pilot from 1981 to 1987, at which time he entered law school at Southern Methodist University. Jim began his law career as an associate at the law firm of Jenkens & Gilchrist in Dallas, Texas. In 1993, he joined the law firm Deppman & Foley, P.C.

In his free time, he enjoys a wide variety of sports with his wife, children, and friends. When not competing around New England in USTA (United States Tennis Association) League Tennis, in platform tennis tournaments, or on the ballfield for the Firm's softball team, he and his wife can usually be found telemark skiing at Mad River Glen, snowshoeing with their two Bernese mountain dogs, waterskiing the slalom course on the waters of Lake Dunmore, or lately, golfing on some nearby course.
